{TrueSound}™ Deafening PW Power! Heavy Martinair MD-11 ROCKET Takeoff from Miami 

It's been more than a year since the last Martinair MD-11 left us. We decided it was time for another video to remember these legendary trijets. This is a shortened version of our tribute video which was uploaded some time ago... (continue reading)
Personal words from Brandon (known as BJG in video descriptions): "Before Horizon was officially established as a three-man RU-vid team, I used to go plane-spotting for fun. It started in elementary school. On that very first spotting trip with my parents, sometime in 2011, the first takeoff I ever saw from El Dorado Furniture at Miami International Airport was a fully-loaded Martinair MD-11. The ground shook as those three PW4000s spooled up to a thunderous roar at takeoff power. Ever since then, the MD-11, especially Martinair's MD-11's, have been very special to me. It remains my favorite airplane to this day."
The first takeoff in this video was indeed the last time a Martinair MD-11 would lift off the ground, and it is one of the most emotional events we've ever filmed. That last MD-11 of Martinair's seven-ship fleet flew directly to the Mojave graveyard and would never fly again.
The night footage is from three years ago, and even with its low quality and shakiness, it brings us back to the glory days when cargo operations were bustling. The last takeoff in this video almost wasn't filmed since we were literally getting in the car to leave when we heard the sound of PW engines starting up... The rest is history.
Miami certainly isn't Amsterdam, but it was the closest thing to it with Martinair. The official airline page even shared our footage and photographs back in the old days. But today, the Western U cargo terminal at Miami seems empty, and the sight of Martinair's big red tails is only a memory...
